I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.

I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.

I could definitely empathize with the character, with the feelings of helplessness - if only the desperation and the feeling of isolation.

I think the sense of community that exists with all the characters - that's the answer. The fact that they have found a family in their friends. It does give some depth and meaning to their lives.

I wonder what kind of lives they will have built for themselves when they turn 45 and can't really have any connection with people because they are so used to fleeting sexual.

A lot of my friends are club people. It's not me. It's funny to represent that, because it's not me. I don't fit into a gay club setting. It's just ironic that I represent that somehow.

I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn't have to talk about it.
